Current favorite splurge restaurant in the area (you'll find we like to talk food a lot here ). Hmmmm, it's not really a big splurge but we love the Ashmont Grill in Dorchester. For "special" occasions we often go to DelFrisco's. I love steak and a nice view. Plus we had our first date downstairs at Remy's so it's nice to go there for a drink and a stroll down memory lane after.
Current favorite budget/everyday restaurant in the area - Since I just saw it mentioned here I loooove the Border though it's as far from a splurge as you can get. I go there with my girlfriends a lot. Although they've changed their house margarita and I don't like it as much Also like The Fours in Quincy for good pub type food.
Will you attend the next GTG on Saturday 2/16 (I don't think we've decided on a location yet). Maybe next time!
dynamoo I LOOVE Border, and you're right about the margaritas . I eat there far too often. The only downside is that you smell like Border upon leaving until you shower again, ha.
OMG the smell!! I have to Febreeze and hang my jacket outside, and immediately wash anything else. Although I notice if no one at the table has fajitas I usually don't smell. God I love their chips and salsa.
